Miami, FL - The first ever case of a fentanyl overdose caused by a mosquito bite was reported by the Miami Police Department today, and local medical providers are raising awareness of this potential new threat.

"I was handcuffing a suspect and saw the mosquito go straight from his arm to mine," MPD officer Corporal Chad Blaze explained. "I overdosed immediately, and I kept overdosing all the way to the hospital."
Corporal Blaze was saved by the quick action of the very man he was in the process of arresting. Wince Jenkins, a Miami bartender who has been battling an addiction to painkillers since an unfortunate alligator attack in 2019, recognized the telltale signs of a fentanyl overdose and immediately called for help. "He started breathing real fast and talking about how he has kids and how he didn't want to die in the street like an animal. I yelled for his partner and she called for an ambulance. They both looked really scared."

Fentanyl, a modern synthetic version of naturally occurring drugs like morphine, codeine, and super codeine, is much stronger than those old fashioned narcotics. Some medical experts, like police toxicologist Mort Fishman, aren't surprised by this case of a mosquito-borne fentanyl overdose. "This stuff is potent. It's like heroin on crack, and then on steroids. And if my certificate of participation from the third best medical academy in Tampa means anything, anything at all, this won't be the last time it happens."
